The lead story in this week's Dawlish Gazette concerns a proposed development at Hensford (presumably land presently forming Hensford Farm) of some 1,200 homes, a primary school, workplaces, shops, hospitality facilities. I have to guess at the exact location as no map is shown. The Gazette associates this development with the next Teignbridge Local Plan (which takes us up to 2040) - and then, ...
Dawlish is an expanding town with lots of new houses already having been built with 100s more scheduled to be constructed in the near future. New houses very often bring with them young families and young families need suitable and appropriate infrastructure. This includes affordable, available, and safe child care provision. The south west has some of the highest housing costs in the ...
@Carer For the first time since records began, there are more job vacancies in the UK than unemployed people, according to the latest monthly labour market figures. This has been driven mainly by a near-fourfold surge in job vacancies to around 1.3 million since the summer of 2020, when economic activity was allowed to resume at the end of the first COVID lockdown. ...
And on the subject of workforce shortages, from what I have read one of the key ingredients for growng the economic pie (to use Lettuce Liz's expression) is NOT to have workforce shortages. So........workforce numbers can help be rectified by releasing all those Mummies presently in enforced economic storage. It's that and/or, (best whisper this quietly), import the workforce - aka increase ...
Today's Sunday Telegraph's cartoon has a tourist guide telling sightseers in London: "You can see Changing of the Guard in the morning, and Changing of the PM most afternoons."
Well, when all this was organised who'd have thought that in between time the Tories would mess up this country's economy in the way that they have! Child care is important, as its being in place frees up many (mostly Mummies) to get back into the workforce. More people in the workforce = more money going to individual families/more income tax being paid/helps the economy/helps pay mortgages ...
I've posted several times on this website about the lack of, and cost of, childcare. It's not only me who feels strongly about this. There will be marches throughout the country next Saturday attended by those who feel the same way. Please join in. March of the Mummies 2022 - Exeter Saturday, 29 October 2022 from 10:30 to 14:00 John Lewis Devon EX4 6NN I'll post ...
The building of the bridge was given planning permission a couple of months back in August. Work has to start within 3 years. Wonder if it will be in place by 2025?
So......... here's a potential fly in the ointment. This bridge is to link the Persimmon side of Shutterton Brook with the Secmaton Farm side of Shutterton Brook. Shutterton Brook forms part of the northern boundary of Secmaton Farm. Whilst the Persimmon development is presently being built out there is presently no planning permission for any development on Secmaton Farm (even though the ...
The bridge over Shutterton Brook was granted planning permission by TDC a few months back. As I said above, DCC is involved in the building of the bridge plus a bit of the road either side. I understand that the meeting referred to in the first post on this thread was concerned with DCC giving approval for the bridge works to be put out to tender.
